Correspondents’ Dinner shooter’s gun is seen for first time

The shotgun that suspect Cole Allen allegedly brought to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been pictured for the first time.

Allen, 31, opened fire outside the gala, hitting a Secret Service member on Saturday night while Trump and his cabinet members enjoyed their salad appetizers inside. 

The suspect was also seen in a new photo, taken immediately after his arrest. Allen is seen without a shirt, covered in a mylar blanket. 

The Mossberg Maverick 12-gauge gun, which he was allegedly holding when he rushed through the security check point at the Washington Hilton, was seen on a carpeted floor.

It was just one of the weapons Allen allegedly brought to the event.

According to a manifesto he sent to family members moments before his planned attack, Allen was attempting to take out the President and members of his inner circle.
